truSculpt iD: A Revolutionary Body Sculpting Treatment
truSculpt iD is a non-invasive body sculpting treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to target and destroy stubborn fat cells permanently. truSculpt iD is safe and FDA-cleared, and can be used in all skin tones. Although it is not FDA cleared as a skin tightening treatment, many patients do report enhanced skin firmness, leading to a significant improvement in the appearance of the treatment areas
At our office the treatment process for truSculpt iD contouring treatment, includes the following steps:
Consultation: A consultation is conducted to determine your desired outcome and goals, ensuring that the treatment aligns with your expectations. Because we are one of the largest aesthetic offices in New York, we have ,any treatment options available for body procedures and will help you pick what is best for your individual needs.
Handpiece Application: Up to six handpieces are used on the designated area in each 15-minute session, allowing us to customize the treatment to your specific fat distribution.
Treatment: The radiofrequency energy being delivered with the applicators is gradually increased to heat the fat cells to the target temperature.
Targeted Fat Reduction with truSculpt iD
truSculpt iD offers targeted fat reduction by focusing on specific areas of your body. Radiofrequency energy is used to heat and permanently destroy fat cells. Once the fat cells, called adipocytes, heat above a certain temperature, they undergo a process called apoptosis, or programmed cell death. The body then naturally eliminates these cells through the lymphatic system. There are 3 different types of hand pieces available on the truSculpt device allowing us to really customize the treatments to each patient. These handpieces are the hands-free 2MHz 40 cm^2, the handheld 2 MHz 40 cm^2, and the handheld 1 MHz 16 cm^2 handpieces. This targeted approach makes truSculpt iD particularly effective for those who maintain a fit and active lifestyle but have specific areas of stubborn fat they wish to diminish.
The treatment directs radio frequencies towards the treatment area with excess fat, generating profound heat in the targeted area. This leads to the breakdown and permanently eliminate fat cells without impacting the surrounding body tissues, promising personalized results for each patient.
Skin Tightening and Improved Laxity
Besides reducing stubborn fat, truSculpt iD also seems to improve skin laxity and tightness. As mentioned, this is not an FDA cleared indication for truSculpt, but many patients have reported skin tightening in treated areas. This is achieved through the stimulation of collagen and elastin production, essential for achieving firm and youthful skin. The controlled thermal energy penetrates the skin and adipose tissue, causing disruption and impairment of the fat cells, while enhancing skin firmness.
truSculpt iD Treatment Areas
One of the advantages of truSculpt iD is its ability to treat various areas of the body. At The Dermatology and Laser Group we use the radiofrequency technology to target and eliminate fat cells in a variety of areas.
- truSculpt iD treatment of abdomen and/or love handles or flanks
- truSculpt iD treatment of bra fat and back fat
- truSculpt iD treatment of thighs and arms
- truSculpt iD treatment of under chin fat
- truSculpt iD treatment of pubic fat
This allows truSculpt iD to offer a comprehensive body contouring solution, that can help patients achieve their desired body shape by eliminating stubborn fat deposits in multiple areas.
A notable feature of truSculpt iD is its effectiveness on harder-to-reach areas like bra fat or neck. It has the capability to tighten loose skin and address laxity in these specific areas, making it an all-encompassing solution for body sculpting.
Your truSculpt iD Journey to Results
The truSculpt iD process commences with a consultation to comprehend your objectives and formulate a personalized treatment plan. The course of treatment begins with an initial 15 minute treatment per area, and a second session is completed about 6 weeks later.
Post-treatment, results typically become noticeable after 12 weeks and can continue to improve for up to 6 months following the treatments. The recommended frequency for truSculpt iD is spaced out every 6-12 weeks. The truSculpt iD technology is clinically proven to produce an average of 24% fat reduction.
A Quick and Easy Treatment
One of the many advantages of truSculpt iD is the comfort level of the treatment, that is often likened to a hot stone massage. The procedure is non-surgical, and takes just 15 minutes to complete per area.
Long-lasting Results and Maintenance
The excellent results achieved with truSculpt iD treatments in our NYC office are enduring. The fat cells are destroyed permanently, and with the avoidance of substantial weight gain, individuals can experience long-term benefits, particularly when coupled with a healthy diet and consistent exercise regimen.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, and consistent exercise, helps to sustain the effectiveness of the treatment.
truSculpt iD vs. Other Body Sculpting Treatments
In our opinion, the thing that makes truSculpt iD stand out compared to other body contouring is how exactly it can target treatment areas. We also offer other popular body contouring treatments such as Emsculpt in NYC, but for targeted areas such as bra fat, back fat, pubic fat pads, or neck fat, truSculpt is the best option.
truSculpt iD is a far superior choice to what we believe are outdated, and potentially risky treatments that involve cooling or freezing fat cells for contouring.
